The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Osasco
The DMS coordinates are: 23°31'57'' S 46°47'30'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -23.5325°
LngO = -46.79167°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 23.5325°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -46.79167 + 180° = 133.20833°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Osasco is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (23.5325, 133.20833)
In DMS format: 23°31'57'' S 46°47'30'' W.
